Glenn wrote "we are related to the apes". I want to caution you about
seeming so absolute about relative data (science) and so relative about
absolute truth (Bible). From a scientific perspective, none of us were
there and we only have "snap shots" of a dynamic situation. What links
those "snap shots" (fossils) together is our philosophy, not science.
Though you speak as though you want to harmonize Scripture with Science,
it appears that Science holds the absolute, supreme hand. Instead of
harmonizing science with Scripture, it appears you are harmonizing
Scripture with Science, as though Science is your God. I want to
encourage you that our God was THERE and He has told us His account
of what happened.
